- You see a 4” diameter goblet turned then decorated. I talk you through how I cope with the inevitable problems and stuff-ups that arise, so there are lot of tips and stuff you might find useful, particularly with the finishing.
4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on TH-cam at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month, US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’s the 2nd. morning of each month.
Each video has links to the others.

I like the rust and verdigris treatment.Looks like something from an ancient sunken ship.
Thanks! Love these 4 Way projects!
I've never much understood the appeal of a wooden goblet. To me, its like making a wooden Axe. With this patina and embellishment, you've changed my mind. Absolutely impressive!
I'm with you regards wooden goblets as drinking vessels, although in 1971 I did make a set of four teak goblets for breakfast milk, ordered by a family in Jersey. I got them back ten years ago obviously used and well cared for. My other five, all more recent, have been toys for young wizards.
whenever I watch your videos, your voice makes me sleepy. Then I wake up and it's all done!
Amazing job. Can’t believe it’s been 14 months, watched everyone from everyone 😊
After watching all 4 I have to say I like yours the best with Sam a close second…. That reactive paint is very interesting!
Bonjour Richard . Ce calice est tout bonnement superbe. ;on le dirait directement sortie de terre ,une authentique oeuvre d'art.Félicitations,vous êtes le meilleur.👍
Wow. The patina on that really makes it look like it's come out of an old shipwreck somewhere. What a neat effect! Nice use of that piece of cedar you showed on your previous video. I love these 4 way projects, so much to learn from all of you.
Fantastical is what you achieved! Thanks for the detailed lesson on the scraper. I will use that. The inside embellishment worked well, I thought.
Quite inspiring: once again it shows my belief that creativity goes with accepting to deal with the unplanned turnouts. I also like your comment on knowing when to stop. In French we say that « better is the ennemy of good or excellence »
You have surpassed yourself, excellent embellishments. The red on the inside is a terrific effect and a surprise. Your turning is as always fantastic.
I’d have liked to see more of the finished work, rather surprised with the abrupt ending, however really happy you chose to do this and that I saw it..
Thanks for sharing Richard.
Amazing!!!
despite the fact that these paints are very expensive, at the beginning of last year I asked an Australian friend to send me two bottles of paints and oxidizing patina, about a month ago I asked another friend from England for other bottles of another brand, the effects that what you can achieve with these paints are, in my humble opinion, absolutely amazing and surprising,... this video shows exactly that and, this chalice is superb,... thank you very much Richard for letting me know about these paints,... I love your work
13:31 Thank you, I love learning new tips and tricks, to use in my own projects :)
Thank you Richard I learned so much from you, but they do say that they day is a school day.
Messed up, ah, embellished…priceless 😊
Wonderful ancient goblet! I'm intrigued by how you often place your hands against the rotating wood while you're turning, much like a potter using the hands to shape the clay. I've not seen other turners doing this but it seems that you must get a greater sense of what's happening with your piece. It's enjoyable to watch.
Mostly my hand is on the wood to limit chatter marks by equalising tool pressure against the wood. That and feeling the wall thickness.
Very nice...love the finishing!
Very beautiful Richard.
Very nice another great 4 way project.
Seems like a total takeoff from your normal turning which I like. This is how we all learn various techniques and what works and what doesn't
Thanks for sharing your exploration!
Perfect job, thank you so much for great video
I love these 4 way projects and seeing the different things you all come up with. This is another awesome video. Thank you sir.
We managed to came up with four different approaches again, hopefuly providing plenty to think about and some inspiration.
I am always amazed at the different approaches and with only 3+ years of turning experience learn constantly. Thank you so very much
Richard you can hope that it's inspiring, for myself and definitely others I'm sure, I find the perspective that you bring to these projects are very inspiring.
Thanks!
That is fantastic,so clever
Beautiful piece of wood 😍😍
A very nice old look on a new goblet .
Very rustic and aged looking. Far cry from the cedar you started with.
Some troubles overcome here, an adventure indeed. I continue to be amazed at what can be achieved with the verdigris and rust. Do different woods react differently to the applications? Or is it just texture? An amazing looking object that will grace any wizard's, or witch's hall. Many thanks for another educational and amusing video.
With this piece the oils in the timber have bled through, fortunately adding more character. I've never had this happen.
Hello. I’m Richard Raffan …👍
Awesome!
Thanks that's pretty cool.
Richard I'd be curious if there are any other hobbies you pursue?Thank you for as always for keeping turning accesible with your attitude and approach, these videos never miss!
Reading and writing, making stuff. In the past I've had kayaks and sailing dinghies, but I'm no longer agile or flexible enough.
Woow, this is another level ....
Awsome job
Gotta find me some of those paints, haven't seen them here in Croatia.
Bellissimo!
Beautiful finish!!
Water soluble aniline dye would give you brighter options if you need that brighter element.
I also wanted an ancient look, not smooth.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning
Well you surely achieved that! Having been in the high end finishing business for over 50yrs what you’ve done is very authentic looking!! But you studied art so you have that ability in spades!!!
Hallo Richard,leider kann ich dir nur in Deutsch schreiben,da ich keine andere Sprache kann.Ich sehe alle deine Videos,und habe viel davon gelernt,obwohl ich nichts verstehe.Aber ich kann auch vom zusehen lernen.Weiter so!
Zwei meiner Bücher wurden ins Deutsche übersetzt: „Drechseln - Maschinen - Werkzeuge - Techniken“ „Spielzeug drechseln,15 begeisternde Projekte aus Ihrer Werkstatt“
interesting as an illusion.
Hi Richard, I assume the “paint” you used leaves a rough textured finish.
The surface feels similar to heavily rusted steel. If the verdigris or rust is oiled the surface dulls and flattens to a quite different surface that's still quite interesting.
do you like the oil on top of this paints? @@RichardRaffanwoodturning
@@user-fj8gt3uy2o I only put oil over the verdigris once. It was still an acceptable surface but to my mind dull and not as interesting. I've never tried sealing verdigris so I might try some sort of lacquer and see what happens.
When I received the paints from Australia, there was a sealing liquid, a liquid that I'm sure you know, I tried it but I didn't like the effect at all, it felt like I was putting a thin layer of milk on top of the paints, I never used it again,... Thank you very much for your reply,...stay happy and healthy,...@@RichardRaffanwoodturning
@@user-fj8gt3uy2o It's not a sealing liquid, it's the catalyst that brings out the colour. The more you put on the brighter and bluer the verdigris or more orange the rust. It's difficult to bring out the orangy rust colour on rounded surfaces because you need to keep the surface wet for at least an hour.
Change your delivery method for the product, especially if it's very runny. Controlling a syringe is a tricky task.
A small artist brush would let you pick out areas and then rotate to the next shape without runs (provided it's not been over filled). I'd rather go over a section with a few coats, than deal with dribbles.
Might be less frustrating?
Until I discovered the inadvertent blob of acrylic that ruined the first finish I was enjoying myself. Dribbles generally add character, especially when trapped by a bead or groove. This is difficult stuff to handle on curved surfaces when the surface needs to be kept wet for an hour or so.
Not for me
The idea of the 4-Ways projects is to help people sort out what they like or don't like and what might work for them whilst showing a range of techniques and approaches. Goblets are not at all my thing, but I enjoyed the journey making this which now belongs to a young wizard, so it's in no way wasted effort.
Sorry, but I don’t like the paint. The cup was beautiful as is in the natural.
